it was still not resolved

all muddled and confused like 
clouds moving aimlessly in his mind 
unprotected tied in knots

obviously, it was still not resolved 
there was no change in her stance

understanding women was an art
and he learned it the hard way
there were no shortcuts
(44 words)

Mish at d'Verse's Quadrille - a poem 
of 44 words and to include the word - knots

  5. Well done, Hank! You got that right! Most of us men seem to learn the hard way... maybe it matches our hard heads!!

  6. No... you have to do it right... there is no way back but to untie the knots.

  7. There's that feeling when you get to the middle of a knot and know you are on your way to untangling it. The same goes for life, relationships but I think we get impatient..and yes, those shortcuts never work!
